I'm a little late with this but here are the two doe I killed in the same week (September 30 and October 3)! This first one came in at last light and was quartering to me fairly hard. I got one lung and demolished the liver. She ran a little over 100yds. My wife brought my son to help track and he LOVED it!
This deer was shot out of a friends gun stand that was MAYBE 15 feet up. The corn field had just been harvested and it had not been hunted to that point. I took my son Nathan and it was a pretty tight fit!! I had to stand the entire time but it was only an hour and 45 minutes. A doe came out at the furthest point possible but she made her way to my 41 yard mark at last light. I whispered to Nathan that I was going to draw and shoot her. I had to hold at least 30 seconds until she turned perfectly broadside. I released and my arrow nock (nockturnals) lit up and my arrow stuck into her shoulder with about 7 inches of penetration. She turned and ran and you could see my blue nock bouncing as the arrow stuck in her. All of a sudden the nock stopped! Nathan yelled, "great shot dad!! She is down!" Sure enough we walk over (about 80yds from where I shot her) and she had crashed head first into a bush! Dead center heart shot (LUCK)! My friend was watching my other two kids and brought them so I could load her up in my van! Yes..... Nissan Quest mini van! Evan was so excited to watch me field dress the deer!
